Share on social media

STAR back Anthony Milford will become a Bronco in 2015 after the Canberra Raiders released a statement tonight.

The Broncos had signed the Logan product to a contract for two years but under NRL law the Raiders had until round 13 to try to convince him to stay.

Their statement ended the matter tonight, with Milford to join the Broncos for the 2015 pre-season in November.

CANBERRA RAIDERS STATEMENT

"Canberra Raiders fullback Anthony Milford has informed the club he will be honouring the deal he made with the Brisbane Broncos and will depart at the end of the 2014 season.

Milford said the decision to leave the club where he developed his game and made his NRL debut was the toughest of his career so far and thanked everyone involved in the Raiders organisation for the opportunities they have given him and the patience they have shown.

“This was a very tough decision for me and my family and I want to thank everyone at the Raiders for everything they have done for me,” Milford said. “I’ve been with the club since I was awarded a scholarship at the age of 13. I wouldn’t be where I am today if it wasn’t for the Raiders and I will never forget the support they’ve given me.

“I’m 100 per cent committed to the Raiders for the rest of the season and I look forward to helping the team play well for the rest of the year.”

Milford will honour the final year of his current deal with the Raiders and remain with the club until the end of the 2014 season."

NEXT NRL HOME GAME: Broncos v Titans – Women In League Rd 10, 7:30pm THIS Friday night 16 May

Another tight and fiery QLD derby pits the Brisbane boys against their 'glitter strip' rivals from the Gold Coast. The Broncos beat the Titans twice in 2013 but those Coasters pipped us 12-8 back in Round 6. Don’t you love games between clubs that have respect, but really just don’t like each other?
